Not when I tested it. pinctrl_get() came back !IS_ERR() for MSP0, MSP2 & 
MSP3, then when it went on to pinctrl_lookup_state(), only then did it 
fail. Would it be more sane to retract the error messages and just let 
it fail silently? It's either that or have lots of "could not get MSP 
defstate" clogging up the log.
